GM Begins Move Into New Detroit Headquarters at Hudson's Detroit

The smaller downtown space showcases GM’s culture through mid‑century design with flexible offices.

Overview

  • GM is occupying the top four floors, about 200,000 square feet, in the Hudson’s Detroit mixed‑use project developed by Bedrock.
  • The headquarters houses executives plus finance, legal, marketing and communications teams, with most offices unassigned and only four reserved for top leaders such as Mary Barra and Mark Reuss.
  • Design draws heavily on the Eero Saarinen–influenced GM Technical Center, translating mid‑century materials and forms into contemporary, collaborative layouts.
  • Curated nods to company history include patent graphics, scale models, a restored Harry Bertoia sculpture and a wall referencing tens of thousands of songs that mention GM brands.
  • Public‑facing features include the Entrance One showroom for vehicles and events, shared lounges, a cafe and a fitness area with pickleball, while hybrid schedules shape variable occupancy and discussions continue over the Renaissance Center’s future.
